Create partitions in Dynamics AX 2012

Often we need to create clean environment for training purposes or to prepare  simulation environment Without the need to install Dynamics AX Again. The following steps illustrate how we can set up clean environment using Dynamics AX Partitions.

1- Go to System administrator > partitions.

2- Click add the enter partition Key, Name the click close.

3- Create new Shortcut and use the original installation path in the target field and make sure to add "-partition=[Partition Key]" in my case the path look like this 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin\Ax32.exe" -partition=Bloger

4- Click Next to rename the Shortcut then click finish button. 

5- doubleclick the new Shortcut to access the new partition (clean environment).
